Clown compatibilty

[bjonesjr1]

I currently have a Black & White percula, and want to add a Dwarf Lion Fish, but not sure... If I get the Lion small enough would he be ok in the tank with my clown ??? Or will he eat him if not feed good ?

I would not recommend it. If the Lionfish can fit the clown in its' mouth then you are asking for trouble.

Alright but if the Lion is well fed would it be ok... Maybe

The lionfish will be fine with the clown until he gets big enough to fit the clown into his mouth. Then it becomes a ticking bomb and WILL eventually eat the clown. Guaranteed.

Alright I like my clown to much to endager him, You convinced me to look for other fish

 

[dantodd]

I really think that's the best idea. Maybe go get one of those tarpon or nurse sharks that hang out at the Islamorada Fish Company!

What size tank was that again?

I know what your talking about down in the keys right... the tarpon feeding ??? I'm not too sure on the size of the tank though...
